Actually, what I meant was the text-mode resolutions supported by
specific video cards. That is, information usable to choose which
card to get. My old card did 132x60. My new card did 132x44. In
case I buy a new card, I want to know which modes a given card
supports. I haven't been able to find that information. (I haven't
found any compilation for multiple cards; the manufacturer's page
for my new card doesn't mention the text modes.)

So to be clear, you are specifically __not__ wanting to use a
framebuffer which uses graphic mode and is therefore slower.

Not necessarily. I'm trying using a framebuffer mode to see how
it is.

However, I'd like to be able to know what text mode a card supports
the next time I buy a video card in case I don't want to use
framebuffer mode.
